The impulse to hurt someone back takes this form of trying to let them know. It is one form of revenge.
Love will simply forgive knowing that by trying to hurt us they are hurting their own soul.
It may also feel compassion and pity for the person’s inner state.
The problem is first we have to feel the touch of true love then the response will automatically come.
Anger, revenge, hate, jealousies are reactions of the ego to the hurts and frustrations. They get mixed with love and make it appear as if it is love that feels so. But true Love does not experience things this way. It simply sets the person free knowing he is not strong enough to love
